That's not yet finalised as Hicks and Gillett are still refusing to go away with lots of disputes on the table. That said, the deal has been approved by the English Premier League.

What I find funny in this story is that when the Glazers bought Manchester United, most of the Scousers were calling the richest football club in the world a sinking ship but let me tell all those fools that our team is now worth £1.2 billions, which indicates a growth of 50% in the last 5 years as it was worth £800 at the time of the buyout.

In those five years we've won lots of cups and trophies and we've even increased our stadium capacity but what happened to Liverpool in the last 5 years? Which is the sinking ship now?

And to answer your question, the new potential owners of the Scousers are called the New England Sports Ventures. Also, note that it was the board of the club itself that decided to oust Hicks and Gillett out.
